AUBURN UPSETS 23rd RANKED TENNESSEE
Auburn upset 23rd ranked Tennessee 94-84 last night (Tuesday, January 2, 2018) in Knoxville for the Tigers 11th win in a row. Bryce Brown and Jared Harper each scored 18 points as the Tigers erased an early 14-point deficit. It’s the second win for former Vols coach Bruce Pearl over his former team, but his first in Knoxville since taking over at Auburn in 2014. Auburn withstood a career-high 25 points from Tennessee’s Lamonte Turner and 22 from Grant Williams. Jordan Bone had 18 and Admiral Schofield added 13 for Tennessee. Tennessee (9-4, 0-2) has lost two straight games for the first time this season.
